Better prepare judge. “Dad” Palmer, publisher of the Nymore Independent has visions of a street rallway from Bemidji to La- vinia, via Nymore. The oil in “Dad’s” lamps are still burning brightly.

The Hubbard County Clipper, pub- lished at Park Rapids has started the wheel turning for the next State Agricultural school. There sure are some fine farm lands In that “neck of the woods” or prairie rather and this little city should have little trouble in landing this prize. The Sentinel said last week, “Be- midji is feeling quite normal.” And here comes the Baudette Region with this, “XYZ.” “For fear some- one will beat us to it we remark that Bemidji’s conduct was anything but normal when the news was re- ceived that the normal school was to be located there,” Oh very well. The Right Idea Bemidji has won the location of the sixth normal the people of that enterprising and wideawake town deserve congratula- tions The Bemidji of the past has gone long since. The Bemidji of the present is a clean, up-to-date, pro- gressive municipality with a great future. The opportunity is now given in the bullding of the new institu- tion, to plan broadly and compre- hensively, avoiding of the past. The size to which the school is to grow should be fixed within reasonable limits, and buildings lo- cated with reference to this possible sTowth. The piecemeal -policy of construction adding here and tearing down there to meet the needs of ex- pansion, has cost the state immense sums. This can be avoided by plan- ning wisely at the beginning. Let us have a model educational institution in Bemidji.—Little Falls Herald. school and errors J. Ham Lewis’ Hunch Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are guaranteed to every American citizen by the constitution. The constitution, however, does not undertake to guarantee any standard of life or living to Americans. That deficiency is supplied by a bill which has been introduced in Congress by Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. The Lewis bill if enacted into law, would gun’rante;e to every American, man or woman who has employment the right to live according to the American standard of living. The bill which is' known-as the National Wage Commission bill is one of the most advanced pleces of legislation ever introduced in the National leg- Islature. In reality, it is a minimum wage' bill, and Senator Lewis has drawn it 80 as to be all embracing in its scope. There is hardly a work- er in the United States who could not claim its protection. The scheme worked out in the ‘measure provides for a.-national wage commision. Tlhis body will be made up of several hundred commission- ers—one wage commissioner in short to every congressional district Un- der ordinary circumstances ~ each wage commissioner will settle the wage disputes in his own district, though in important cases three or more commissioners may join in act- ing as a jury. The salary provided for each’ commissioner is adequate to secure the services of good and com- petent men. 5 When ever any employee believes that the wages paid him are not suf- ficfent’' to pay for a living on the ‘geale to which he is justly entitled he brings a complaint before the dis- trict wage commissioner, that official sets a date for a hearing and sum- mons witnesses. The proceedure is made simple by the bill so that no complaint will be compelled to hire an attorney, but can conduct his own case. Having. the power of a court, the commissioner can put wit- nesses on oath, can determine the ability of the employer to pay wages, and from this and expert testimony he decides on the standard of living to which the complainant is entitled and whether the wages received is sufficient to pay for this standard of living. This is the which the working people -of this country are demanding, and the sort which must eventually be enacted. With his clear insight of the pub- lic needs and his vision of the fu- ture, Senator Lewis is one of the pioneers of the new type of states- manship. The anactment of the bill he proposes would do much toward pending the labor troubles in this country if wise and progressive men sort of legislation were given charge of the execution of this law. Bath-Room Ai:ces;ories and Summer Comfort There is no time in the year when the bathroom is as much in use as in midsummer, During the hot days the shower bath and the cold tub are in constant demand. Have you arranged your bath- room so that you and your family can have the benefit of modern convenience? Have you an adequate shower bath? Have you soap, sponge, tooth-brush and drinking glass holders? Have you glass shelves, toilet preparations and a medicine cabinet? Have you bath mats and a good supply of rough towels?— and so on, ad lib.? There are many bathroom acces- sories on the market planned for convinience and sanitation. The list is far too long to enumerate here, but, if you are not already entirely familiar with what is to be had in this line, trun to the ad- vertising columns of THE PIO- NEER and learn something on the subject. You will be astonished to find how much real comfort you can procure for yourself and your family at very moderate cost. Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson. Fortunes In Moving Pictures. Mr. Edison first showed the world his completed invention (the cine- matograph) at the world’s fair in Chi- cago, in 1893; but it was nearly 1900 before this infant industry could be said to be fairly started, though one] enterprising manager had a regular place of exhibition as early as 1894. Two years ago it was estimated that in a single years the country paid over one hundred million dollars in admis- sions. There are no definite figures available, though the census officials contemplate gathering such statistics this year. It is probably safe, how- ever, to place the present revenue from admission close to $200,000,000. —Century. Fish In Ditches. A new industry has been discovered in the drainage regions in eastern Marshall and western Beltrami coun- ties, Minnesota. This is the catching SPORTING VACATIONS “Learn One Thing Every Dny."’v NO 1. HUNTING Copyright, 1913, by The Assoc! e # NO. 2. FISHING Gently the man in the khaki suit made his way down the bank, and out on the dead, overhanging cedar trunk. Off somewhere a woodpecker was hammering, and in the big Oak near at hand a squirrel was chat- tering. The only other sound was the laughing and bubbling of the lit- tle stream. Just down the stream the rapid fumed and fused until suddenly it sank out of sight in a deep, black pool.That was the spot! Carefully poising his rod, the man made the cast. The line spun out, the fly went straight to the center of the pool—splash! A gleam of sil- ver, a sputter of the surface, and he felt ‘the deep delight that al- way comes with a pull of the line and a bend of the rod. The fish fought and sulked and fought again, un- til at last, guiding the line care- fully with his left hand,:the man bent low and scooped him in with the net in his right. Three pounds silver and speckled, and panting with the unequal struggle! There is no more exhilarating sport in the world than trout fishing despite the hard work, the long walks, the discomfort of pushing through bushes and branches, and the slipping on the wet stones and logs. Maskalonge fishing is different. If you are after this fish, you go to the smaller lakes in the north, or to Can- ada. Either with frog or minnow bait or with a fly and “spinner,” it is best to cast along the edge of lily pads in the morning or early evening. It is necessary to have a guide or one of the party row to the boat, for a maskalonge of any size is all you will want to handle. The is made; there is a vicious strike ‘and a terrifying splash, and almost before you are aware of it the struggle ~ is on, The line sings through the water. The reel spins round so fast that it burns your fingers, and of a sudden there is a leap for freedom. Clear out into the air comes the great fish, and shakes himself to free the hook. Then down he goes, making for the other side of the boat; then up again in- to the air. With a taut line you need not fear his leaps ;and after awhile he tires of this form of exer- tion and makes for the bottom to sulk and gain the friendly protection of the weeds. of fish in the main ditches. As soon a8 the snow melted the ditches, large and small, became filled with water, which gave ample opportunity for the fish to move up against the current from the Thief river and Red Lake river. In places thousands of suckers and pickerel fillled the ditches and the farmers threw them out with forks and shovels. As soon as the freshet of water had disappeared the fish also became stranded. No game fish protected by law are found in these waters. s o S Where Bismarck Falled. In view of the marriage of the crown princess of Germany to the son of the duke of Cumberland, it is in- teresting to recall that an' attempt to unite these two royal families of Prussia and Hanover was made long ago as 1866, only a few month before the beginning of the war with Austrla. In “Bismarck’s Autobiog- raphy” he tells how no other than himeelf tried to bring about a mar- rlage between the Princess Frederica of Hanover with Prince Albrecht: of Prussia in order to keep the neutral ity of the former kingdom. Cold Water Was Condemned. In contrast with our present bellet in cold water an English herbal, pub- lished in 15629, says that “Many folke All this time the oarsman has been pulling you into deep water, and you have had a chance to take in a good deal of slack line. Then, tired out with the fight, the fish is pulled to the top and captured. 'The maska- longe is often called the. tiger of fresh water because of its fierce char- acteristics, and it sometimes grows to a very large size. Fear Worm From Hawalil. The “pink boll worm” soon will be the subject of a hearing bsfore the department of agriculture to consider the advisability of placing an embargo on all cotton seed and cotton seed hulls coming to the United States from Hawail, according to an an- nouncement made by the department. The department has learned that the worm, a dangerous ememy to cotton, has invaded Hawail and might be in- troduced into the United States in ootton products coming from that ter it - Danger of Drifting Into Rut.

These become flabby or atrophied from disuse, while that hath bathed them In colde water have dyed or they came home,” while the danger of driuking nature’s bev- erage is pointed out in the,assertion that “It is unpossyble for them that drynketh overmoche water in theyr youth to come to yp aege that God ordeyned them.” Condemned alike a8 & beverage and a bath, cold water held a very meager place in medieval domestic economy.—Rural New York: er. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED, by local applications, as they. cannot peach the diseased portion of the ear. There 18 only one way to cure deafnes: and that is by constitutional remedi, Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- B flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and where it is e tively closed. Deafness is the resul and unless the inflammation can be -tak- en ont and this tube restored to its nor- mal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
